Da Future

[50shadesofprotag]

Soooo in the future! Hilda managed to woo Silver and keep him for more than a week.

When Hilda's about 26 and Silver's 24, she's finally got him doing more "couple"-like things with her.




It's a good thing they're a somewhat decent age to be parents?

Well, no, but dad says he really changed a lot after we were born, so I can't compare him to you.

[soulknight]

I'm surprised he's actually a dad.

[...] I only had a battle just for fun once and that was five years ago. [Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.] Business before pleasure.

[shhhspoilers]

Boring! Why not have battles for fun every once in a while? There's all kinds of weird rules you can apply, too! Like triple battles or rotation battles...

[soulknight]

I was too busy dealing with Team Rocket. Now I've gotta deal with being blind.

[shhhspoilers]

Well, now it's really important to have fun! You gotta balance the serious stuff with something you enjoy!

[soulknight]

[...Something he enjoys?]

[shhhspoilers]

So? What do you like to do for fun?

[soulknight]

[...Shrug. Hell if he knows.]

[shhhspoilers]

Really? C'mon, you and me just had a lot of fun at the roller coasters! I know you can have fun.

[soulknight]

[...Stuff. Stuff and things.

It's easier to have fun with someone dragging him into fun things than to pick things that are fun.]

[shhhspoilers]

Not a thing? Nothing you do with friends that you like?

[soulknight]

...I enjoy it no matter what if it's with my friends. [Even helping Crys with her work. Even helping out Green.]

[shhhspoilers]

Hmm... okay. Then we should battle!

[soulknight]

[Wait, what?--]

[shhhspoilers]

It's fun! Just a quick one, right? I bet you're really strong, just like daddy!

[soulknight]

...Okay, but not in the city. [Somewhere where he doesn't have to worry about anyone getting stuck in the crossfire.]

[shhhspoilers]

Alright! Then we can go to White Forest. There'll be plenty of space to battle, there.

And it's close to home! So if anything goes awry, dad can help. Not like I couldn't handle it myself, though.

[soulknight]

Can't be a forest. [No can do. That's bad on principle.] Is there a nearby route?

[shhhspoilers]

There's the route we already came through with the sandstorm, up west is the road and the Charizard bridge, and up east is the way to White Forest.

[soulknight]

[Sandstorm's no good. Too loud.]

But they've got frequent traffic, right? What about somewhere empty?

[shhhspoilers]

Well, I can think of one place, at least... but we'll have to do it tomorrow, because we'll either have to fly there or take the train.

[soulknight]

...Okay.

[...] What time is it?

[shhhspoilers]

Uhm...

[She checks her C-Gear!]

It's almost eight.

[soulknight]

The night's still young. [...But not everyone's crazy enough to fight in the middle of the night, so he won't question it further.]

[shhhspoilers]

It is, but I try to keep a normal sleep schedule. Besides, I share a room with Barett and make sure he can reach his inhaler in the middle of the night.
